About Calvin
Calvin-40 is Wandercraft’s first industrial humanoid robot, purpose-built for physically demanding and ergonomically hazardous tasks in manufacturing environments. Developed in just 40 days by leveraging more than a decade of exoskeleton technology, Calvin-40 stands out for its robust, headless design and modular end-effectors, allowing it to lift and transport payloads up to 40 kg—nearly double the capacity of many competing humanoids. It features real-time balancing, AI-powered navigation, and voice control, making it highly adaptable to dynamic workflows. Calvin-40’s open-source platform and partnership with Renault Group aim to accelerate its industrial deployment and future expansion into healthcare and personal assistance. Its design prioritizes safety, reliability, and seamless integration with human teams, targeting roles that are too dangerous, repetitive, or strenuous for people.
